and romney is perceived of having no foreign policies himself. this is part of a larger debate that he has wanted to have. the question, of course, is timing. did he do himself any good by doing it when he did before the facts were known, and before we knew that an ambassador had been killed and that romney was responding to a statement from a u.s. embassy who at the time was trying to quell protesters and it's a statement that the white house later backtracked from, as romney noted there, but clearly he decided politically, and he may have been right, it would have been worse for him to back down from the statement that he did overnight, that he had no choice but to, quote, unquote, double down with his criticism. and it sparks the debate on the management of the arab spring, which is the conversation to have about the relationship between the united states and egypt, and how much of an ally is egypt? he is drawing lines in the sand earlier than you would expect at a time like this when a challenger realizes he can't compete with the rose garden

, not foreign policy. i don't think at this point in the race, president obama changes his tack which has essentially been when asked about his own record to say we came in at a difficult time, i did what i said i was going to do and that's particularly the case on foreign policy. we're out of iraq, winding down the war in afghanistan, osama bin laden is dead. he will continue to say that, and then i think very quickly pivot to say this guy, mitt romney, he doesn't have any track record on foreign policy so i don't think you're going to see president obama talk too much about change. it's kind of -- what's the difference between running as a candidate and incumbent. it's easy to run on change as a challenger. hard when you're the incumbent president of the united states. change means the other guy. >> there are other numbers in this poll, chris and chuck. when we look at the real story of the next two weeks, it will be turnout. turnout motivated by ground organizations, motivated by rallies. you'll have th
